User-Contributed Transcription keep you employed! Really, I am serious - I can't see why it would not be a fine plan, till railroading business starts again - when not otherwise occupied, you should have employment at good wages in our garden, which would be good for your health & spirits, you know! Any way, we would all have a nice time & enjoy ourselves. I think you have staid at Dunbarton about long enough for once - It is time for you to comfort your friends in these parts with your presence. We do all want to see you & Nettie & "Mayo - the smart-spoken" and the crowing babies. If you don't speedily find a better opening, I desire you to consider seriously the matter of a removal to Bangor. I should not suppose you could even think of taking your family to Southern Illinois, & it is too hard for you & for them to be separated so much. Nettie, tell him he had better take his wife & children
